    No. I didn't it before try install the updates mentioned above.

    The option you mention is part of the BypassESUv12u script?

    Yes
    you cannot install ESU updates without ESU Bypass :)

    if you prefer to download and install .NET 4 updates manually, then you can use the standalone installer

    I have had the bypass installed for a long time (version 12). Should I reapply it every month every time I have to install net framework updates?

    The option you mentioned to install the bypass for net framework updates was already installed before I tried to install the net framework updates. I didn't remember this. Therefore, the error when trying to install updates occurs for another reason.

    The log is not clear in what it says.

    I have bypassESU12 installed with the optional bypass for net fw updates and it generated the error that you see in the log file.

    I just applied this method. But I would like to know what is the way to ensure that the updates have been installed correctly? Does the script create any log files that can be examined later?

    The error in the log means the bypass is not installed or not working
    check if Antivirus is blocking or removing msiesu.dll file, or registry:
    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\msiexec.exe]
    It will report error code if it fail

    Maybe another possibility (no expert so just delete this if incorrect). He may also be forgetting to re-enable .net bypass if he turns it off.

    Excuse me. I have checked Windows regedit yet I couldn't find the 'msiexec.exe' key in the mentioned route. What shall I do then? I am already making use of Kaspersky Cloud Free in this pc with windows 7 since I consider it pretty useful for my job. Besides, I think it is the best av for win 7.

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    The script closed automatically without error msg. (Net 4 fw esu)

    I paused the av protection and re apply op 7 (install net bypass). After, I try manually install KB5040123 and KB5039891 --> the installation ls complete without errors

    @aboddi,

    Apologize if this has already been answered, it's a long thread.

    With the POSReady 7 support ending October 8th, is there any other NT 6.1 version with a longer lifecycle or is this the end?

    It looks like browser options for Win7 will carry on for at least another year or two with Mozilla's announcement of continuing support past September and forks like r3dfox so there is that at least for us diehard Win7 users.

    Server 2008 R2 ESU updates will probably continue to 2026-01

    For x64 based only. So got an extra four years, can't complain, Win7 has been a very good OS for me.

    I finally buckled and updated one of my two Win7 PCs to Win10 a couple months back only to find out that's ending updates in about a year.
    I'm curious if this bypass will work for Win10 as well.

    This bypass works for the Win7 core & others with same core. Win 10 & 11 have different cores & their updates are not compatible with Win7. Check for a Win 10 forum here dealing with that OS specifically including a potential bypass update system. Good luck. ;>))

    I am trying to install KB5016892 as one of the prerequisites for installing KB5040497 but it fails. In WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd i choose second (2) option.
    1. It seems KB5016892 installed OK, but i do not see it in "installed updates" on my system. I installed it manually from .msu file. Should it be visible in Installed updates?
    2. For KB5040497 i get error. No matter if i install it from WU or MSU or Simplix, it starts installing process but it allways ends in failure.

    1. fail how or what error message?
    yes, it's should be in installed updates

    2. did you install ESU Suppressor?
    updates can fail for other reasons, check logs in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
